American Quantum Cycles Inc. Passes EPA Test

    MELBOURNE, Fla.--Oct. 6, 1998--American Quantum Cycles Inc. (OTC BB: AMQC) today announced that it has passed the Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") emissions standards for its 88 cubic inch 4-Valve(R) engine.
    The test was conducted at the EPA approved testing facility run by Texas Testing in Ft. Worth, Texas. The test is applicable to all states with the exception of California, which requires a separate certification. The Company expects to receive the EPA certificate from the EPA on or about Oct. 16, 1998.
    Frank Aliano, AMQC VP Production, stated, "By achieving certification, American Quantum not only will accomplish the task of complying with emissions requirements for sales in forty-nine states, excluding California, but also will gain a huge marketing and financing advantage over those manufacturers that have not complied with the Federal Emissions Regulations."
    Richard K. Hagen, Chairman and C.E.O., stated, "Certification by the EPA will give our Company and our dealers additional benefits. Our models the Liberty Cruiser and the Pioneer Touring Motorcycle will be listed in the NADA book, which will afford our dealers and customers more financing and insurance opportunities. This will be the first certification for American Quantum, we also will be submitting both our 88 and 96 cubic engine shortly for the complete certification, which includes the California CARB requirements."
    AMQC is currently in production and is accepting qualified dealer applications.
    American Quantum Cycles Inc. motorcycles feature fully balanced internal components utilizing advanced materials, which set new standards in power, smoothness and reliability. For further information contact American Quantum Cycles Inc. or go to the AMQC web site at www.quantumcycle.com.
